My Love from Another Star (2013–2014)

Grow some alien balls and tell her how much you love her

[6/10 · 8 October 2020]

A mostly frustrating drama at times and somewhat predictable at others. Typical romcom with "it's on, it's off, it's on it's off" relationship, but this was way too much. It seemed maybe the producers dragged this on to get more episodes and ratings. The lead actor alien character was pretty insignificant and he looked like he was punching way above his average in the movie and outside. I think they could've chosen another hallyu actor more suited to the amazing lead actress, but as a result of choosing this guy, it lacked chemistry for me. The lead actress was portrayed phenomenology and all six rated stars go to her. In terms of the storyline, it was ok, some thrilling bits, good humour, some suspense, but it lacked that deep romance. The plot had some elements from 'Goblin / Guardian- the great and lonely god' as well as 'Legend of the blue sea' (also with the same lead actress), but overall it didn't stand in the same high quality league as these other two dramas.
